Phew, what a week

All world media has been reporting disasters, from burst steam pipe in New York to freak aviation disaster in Brazil, to earthquake of 6+ Richter in Japan.

Closer to home, there were earthquakes in Kenya and Tanzania which is not a normal occurence. There were also a series of daring robberies in what looked like the giant that had been humbled was waking up again. It seems, though, it is crooks from neighbouring countries who regard our country as a soft target to rob.

Crime: This is one of the reasons I am very much against the East African federation: such a union ought to come gradually and not to be imposed by leaders who may have ulterior motives.
